Welcome. Sounds like a fun project. Any more info/pics of the turbo install?
I dont have any pix of the install but it was pretty straight forward. i used all the 6.5 diesel parts, upper/lower intake, crossover tube, pass side exhause manifold and gm-8 turbo. The exhaust needs to be redone with teh crossover and down pipe. I had the oil return line ran back into the oil pan and just welded up a bung for it. The oil feed line from the turbo came from the oil pressure sensor. I also put in a boost gauge and pyrometer. Itll stay steady at 10psi while on the highway. Power difference is night and day. I found the details on another diesel sight and just followed there instructions. I'll look for the link.
